Meat tenderizers are proteolytic enzymes. These enzymes break the peptide bonds between proteins (amino acids) found in meat. Collagen is the complex protein that holds meat together. Some tenderizers are made of pineapple stem and papaya. These have natural proteollytic enzymes.

Is meat tenderizer an enzyme or a catalyst?
Meat tenderizer is made up of protease enzymes, usually papain and bromelain, that attack the protein structure of meat and makes less tough or more tender. An enzyme is biocatalyst that is itself made of a highly structured protein or proteins thus making it a biochemical and organic material. A catalyst, on the other hand, will still speed up chemical reactions like an enzyme, but cannot be classified as a biochemical or organic material; a catalyst is an inorganic or non-biochemical material that will speed chemical reactions.
